~British Soul~ Posted June 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I don't see a reason for Alain to visit Olympia afaik (I could be wrong though), and as for Quagsire, it was clearly a case of wrong place wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Zygarde, what are the odds Iris will come back for the Team Flare arc and try to communicate with Zygarde, and who knows, maybe Lysandre will live.

If anything the writers would need a damn good reason to have Iris spontaneously return for the Flare arc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my god, the majority of viewers DO NOT LIKE IRIS AND SHE IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THE PLOT IN ANY WAY. It is NOT GOING to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree she is 0% to return I find it funny that she would be the first female companion to not return. Though as you said she was never popular where as Misty, May, and Dawn all were.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I severely doubt they'll bring back Iris just for this arc, especially given how low her approval rating is compared to the others. Yeah, there is no reason for her to return. Serena technically has a bunch of reasons. But anyway, episode thoughts. (Someone forgot to spoiler tag this morning...) [spoiler=123 thoughts]Too bad Ash didn't get Goodra back this time; guess he's either catching a new Pokemon or pulling an old one from somewhere. I mean, he HAS a ton of good Pokes back in Kanto; just a matter of him actually using them. Or yeah, Goodra comes back somewhereQuagsire was just in the wrong place, but that's where that shot came from.Seems everything got resolved.I expected Alain would win, but to be the last gym, hmm. (Yeah, Korrina probably should've been the final gym in our time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Poor poor Iris. Anyway, I was thinking about it and I think the anime shouldn't have used Abomasnow as Wulfric's Mega. The set up he had used in the first battle was a ton better since it turned on Ice Body and started the chip damage much earlier and it creates a problem of having had Abomasnow go from getting destroyed by Hawlucha to beating back Ash-Greninja. I think Glalie would have been a better choice. Sure, he doesn't use a Glalie in game, but he also didn't use Mega evolution and its not like they haven't changed things for the leaders in the anime (hell, Wulfric never used Bergmite in game). Actually, on that note, 6 of the 8 gym leaders had different teams than the ones from in game. That is a pretty large number. I mean, they even made a gym battle a double battle. Really curious why the writers made so many changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 They made a note about Mega Sceptile, which is an OR/AS creation that wasn't originally in X/Y, so Mega Glalie certainly would've been a better choice. But yeah, Abomasnow to set up weather (I mean, that's what you're supposed to do for Hail teams, right?), Avalugg for some other stuff and then Glalie to wipe things. Likely to give it some distinction from what we had to deal with in X/Y. One thing I'm more interested in is how the hell do Shota and Trevor even get their hands on a Mega/Key Stone in the first place. We know the former talked about Mega Sceptile at one point, but latter hasn't said anything about the subject during the anime. Heck, he didn't Mega Evolve once during the games (most he amounted to was just mentioning that (x) has a potential Mega Evolution). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Honestly, I feel like the anime has changed a lot of the stuff from in game for the better with the rivals and gyms. XY is the first time we didn't get a companion game of ANY kind and since those often fill in stuff from the initial release it feels lacking. The anime really does feel like they've incorporated ideas that would have been in "Z" had it actually released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I agree, some of the ideas the anime had with the gyms and rivals have been pretty good, and would've been nice to see in-game if Z existed.Although we do know that Sun/Moon will have Zygarde 10%/Complete usable.

Flame Dragon Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Caught back up on the subbed episodes. Not much to add to my thoughts from before other than 23: Looks like Alan got the idea to join in the league from Ash bringing it up. 25: This battle is still fantastic. Its just a VERY well made fight. 26: Based on the subs is does look like Ash got to much in his own head about not losing to Shota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Did I forget to mention in my Anime playthrough of Y, I arrived in Snowbelle City. Now I have to wait for Wulfric's English voice to emulate it. I got Yveltal. Turns out Oblivion WIng is the same as... okay you guys are experts you all know Oblivion Wing has the same effect as Absorb, Mega Drain etc. Thursday's Mechfest in Japan, Lockpick episode is dubbed.

~British Soul~ Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I'm not excited for Thursday's episode as it's basically filler, then there's the 2-week wait for the start of the league. It's gonna be a slow two weeks anime-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Last one they got was Shota vs Ash; still need to sub the gym battle, Ash's loss of self-esteem after getting creamed and then the rematch. Oh, and Ash meeting up with Goodra again. Next episode is filler; doubt Citron's getting a new Pokemon. (Heck, Serena only has 3 Pokes right now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 All aboard the filler train, doot doot. More-or-less skippable tbph. (though I'll probs end up watching anyway) Now to wait two weeks. Not surprised where Trevor's key stone is located though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah, episode was pretty much filler and to promote movie 19 (because Magearna is mechanical, and they showed...machines) But I shouldn't be surprised either where Trevor's stone is, but can only wonder how he and Shota even got their stones in the first place. (I've said this twice now, haven't I?) Though, I do expect Trevor to get royally creamed by Alain (if anything, I wouldn't be surprised if Alain swept him 6-0 or something). So yeah, the odds are stacked high against Trevor. ----League should be fun though, but still question remains; what is Ash's 6th 'mon going to be?

Flame Dragon Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 While it was filler it was still cute. Serena's reaction to the Rube Goldberg machine was pretty great, the fun house or what ever was neat, James was pretty cool, and Chespin and Pancham interactions are always fun. Chill episode before we start the final chapters of XYZ. I can dig it. In other news, subs for 27 are out. Hopefully by the time the next episode airs we'll only be 2 episodes back on subs.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah, the Rube Goldberg machine was cute (even though it only took Serena one crack on the stump to break the berry open). Episode was funny to watch, but yeah basically filler. As for 27, I watched that one before this week's; Wulfric amounted to asking Ash "how close are you and your Pokemon?" afterwards and he was dejected afterwards. ----Once the Kalos League starts, hopefully Ash actually does better than BW; his performance was disappointing.

Flame Dragon Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'd be ok with Ash losing in top 4 to Alain though I would rather he make the finals. Honestly, I think having Alain win would be really interesting, especially since we'll be getting the Flare arc after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I do need to get around to watching the episode (haven't done so yet, due to me being rather busy as of late), though I'll most likely not watch it subbed. I'd also be fine with Ash losing in the semi-finals to Alain. EDIT: watched the episode finally[spoiler=Thoughts on XYZ031 aka FillerFest]- Clemont's reaction to Serena just breaking the Chesto Berry thing was amusing, as was Pancham laughing at Chespin getting hit with the hammer.- When TR were demonstrating their mech, it has been a good while since we heard that background music, I knew said background music was mostly used in Sinnoh however.
